Lack of rain cut down this crop, as all grasses need water. Shortages of Synthetic Citral allowed those who could afford to switch to Lemongrass as a source of Citral, albeit Natural. This has kept prices high.

There continues to be high demand for Lemongrass, specifically as a Citral source. Reports indicate that prices at the farm level increase daily, as low availability has allowed for a “bidding war” to ensue.

With the shortage of Synthetic Citral, the internal demand in India for vitamins has caused manufacturers to switch to Lemongrass for Citral.

There have been reports that the Monsoon Season this year has not provided enough rain to ease the conditions in drought stricken growing regions. This has kept prices firm. Strong demand has caused measures to be taken that have brought about serious quality issues.

With the drought still in effect in Southern India, production has been limited. Competition from collectors and strong demand has kept prices firm. This has caused oil of questionable quality to enter the marketplace. Hopefully the upcoming monsoon season will alleviate this situation and production will return to normal.

Both new and established snack brands have pushed to reinvent popcorn as a healthy snack. This push has included new seasonings like sage, which pairs exceptionally well with the buttery flavor of popcorn. Lemon Oil 5X and Black Pepper Oil add a potent pop to this modern popcorn.

With the rush to get as nutrient dense as possible, both to mirror the popularity of juicing in a snack format as well as attempting to jam pack all of the consumer’s favorite elements into a single product, manufacturers are spelling out their ingredient lists using flavor names. Kale, Spinach, Apple, Pineapple, Lemon, Ginger &... Read more »

Litsea Cubeba Oil is steam distilled from the small, peppercorn-like fruits of the Chinese May Chang tree. The oil’s sweet lemony aroma is similar to that of Lemongrass with the major difference being Litsea’s absence of a green, grassy note.
